Rabbit Creek winds through the property, adding both agricultural value and natural beauty to the landscape. Mature hardwoods line the creek corridor, providing shade, strong wildlife habitat, and seasonal character. Surface water is well distributed with multiple ponds, and a hand-dug well is situated near the creek. Electricity is already in place on the property, and rural water access is available nearby, offering flexibility for future expansion or residential improvements.
The ranch also offers numerous elevated build sites with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Whether envisioning a permanent residence or a weekend retreat, the terrain provides attractive settings overlooking productive fields and the scenic creek bottom. In addition to its agricultural strengths, the property offers excellent recreational enjoyment. Ducks and geese are regularly found on the ponds, and the surface water offers enjoyable fishing opportunities. Whitetail deer, hogs, and other native wildlife travel the hardwood corridors where creek habitat meets cultivated acreage.
Operational improvements are in place to efficiently support everyday ranch activities. A larger barn, pole barn, storage container, and working pens located near the barn provide practical infrastructure for handling livestock and managing the property with ease. Blending productivity, dependable water, scenic homesite potential, and year-round recreational appeal, this 320-acre ranch offers a well-rounded ownership opportunity in a highly desirable area of Young County.
